configuring arrays depends on the RAID controller that you are using. For details, see the documentation for
your RAID controller. To access the utility for your RAID controller, complete the following steps:

administrator password, a limited Setup utility menu is available.
3. Select System Settings → Storage.

5. Select the device driver for your RAID controller and press Enter.
6. Follow the instructions in the documentation for your RAID controller.

Advanced Settings Utility program

This information provides information about the Advanced Settings Utility program.
The Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) program is an alternative to the Setup utility for modifying UEFI settings.
Use the ASU program online or out of band to modify UEFI settings from the command line without the need
to restart the system to access the Setup utility.
You can also use the ASU program to configure the optional remote presence features or other IMM settings.
The remote presence features provide enhanced systems-management capabilities.
In addition, the ASU program provides limited settings for configuring the IPMI function in the IMM through
the command-line interface.
Use the command-line interface to issue setup commands. You can save any of the settings as a file and run
the file as a script. The ASU program supports scripting environments through a batch-processing mode.
